The Skill of Grammar is the Skill of language used correctly. Grammar encompasses all the rules and requirements of speaking not just prettily, but well. Should one wish to make oneself better understood, one should focus one's attention upon the 'Three Legs of Speech' - which is to say Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric.

Semantics

Dominant Attribute: Intelligence

There is a great deal of misunderstanding when it comes to the Skill of Semantics, which is something any first, second, or third rate philosophiser would call a dramatic irony.  Semantics is about the precise usage of words and phrases to convey one's exact meaning, instead of just getting one's point across as best as possible.  If one means to say they are doing well but says they are feeling fine, the meaning changes entirely when an outsider delves deeper into the speaker's words.  One who says they are feeling fine is not answering the question of how they are doing, and thus is avoiding answering the question.  Those who are well versed in Semantics will know the difference and be able to act accordingly.
